ive been looking everywhere and cant find a bolt on turbo or supercharger kit for my 1990 sho. ever since shoshop.com stopped selling kits and parts and pretty much stopped being shoshop i havent been able to find anything is there anywhere i can get a bolt on kit or am i just dreaming a dream that wont come true, i have a general knowledge of turbos and how they work and whats needed to make them work well but i lack the confidence to rip the motor out and attempt to build it. can anyone help me?

FPS sells a complete centrifugal supercharger kit IIRC

thats also the ONLY complete forced induction setup youll find for a SHO currently, and all the postitive displacement blower setups and all the turbo kits are custom made,

Personally I think remote mounted turbos are amazing. A but more lag due to the extra piping but the air is so much cooler and more dense equaling more power!!!!!! And they just sound sick :)

somedude's IAT's were routinely about 10 degrees above ambient air temp, and the max ever was like 115.

Intercoolers make great intercoolers. steel piping run past the exhaust for 15 feet do NOT make great intercoolers

Be VERY patient. Fitting hasn't even started 6 months later and they've yet to find bugs needing fixed, as well as a "bolt-on-and-go" tune.

I've seen a remote turbo SHO peg an IAT sensor... They don't run cooler. You still need an intercooler/charge cooling.

If u run it next to exhaust piping ur with out a doubt correct but that's a big no no lol it's supposed to be run along outer body lips to provide max effectiveness

Okay, let me know how that works for you. When you crack or melt a piston, check your data logs for the >300F IAT's.

With any turbo i wouldn't feel safe unless i ran some sort of charge cooling.. ****, even with a super charger i would do what you do Jason at least....

Better safe than sorry IMHO..

I remember seeing that. They said that the power lost to lower pressure was more than made up by the cooling affect of the longer pipes.

I don't know the first thing about forced induction. I'm just repeating what someone else said.
